Last week was a whirlwind of events including a lunchtime preview of the Nordstrom Anniversary Beauty Exclusives event. In case you aren’t familiar with this concept – every year in July, Nordstrom has their big 2 week-long Anniversary Sale. Since beauty never goes on sale, instead the brands come up with unique limited-edition items available exclusively during this anniversary period at Nordstrom stores and online. This year’s beauty exclusives include brands such as MAC, Chanel, T3, Dior, Laura Mercier, Philosophy, Marc Jacobs, Bobbi Brown, Clinique, Lancome, and Estee Lauder, to name a few. Over 100 brands are participating.

True beauty addicts (and that’s you, or else you wouldn’t be here, right?) can go online to nordstrom.com or stop into Nordstrom stores to pre-order starting today. The sale goes live July 18th and lasts until August 3rd. You can shop in-store or online. Want to know my fave Nordstrom Anniversary Exclusives? Read on, dahlinks!
